BANNA 10K - "probably the flattest 10K in Ireland"

http://stbrendansac.blogspot.ie/p/banna-10k-road-racefun-run.html

With an elevation of only 23m this could quite possibly be the flattest 10K Road Race in Ireland (but we will be happy to hear from anyone who knows of a flatter course).
This course will suit everyone - runners and walkers, beginners and advanced.

Aviva Irish Schools’ Team

The Aviva Irish Schools’ Team made up of the best U-17 athletes in the country competed at the Aviva SIAB Schools’ International in Ashford, Kent, England last Saturday. This was the 44th running of the competition which saw the Irish squad battle it out against teams from England, Scotland and Wales. St. Brendan’s AC had two athletes competing with the Irish squad, Katie O’Riordan in the pole vault, and Eoghan Courtney who came in 3rd place in the 400m hurdles, and also claimed 3rd place with the 4 x 100m relay team.

 BANNA 10K RUN: The countdown to 3rd annual BANNA 10K Road Race and Fun Run is on and the event will take place on Sunday 5th August at 9.30am.

AAI NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2012

AAI National u12-u19 Track & Field 2012

The 14^th & 15^th of July saw the Athletics Association of Ireland’s National Championships take place in Tullamore, Co. Offaly.  While they may have been just outside of the medals many of the St. Brendan’s AC athletes achieved personal bests in their first outing at the Nationals. In the U12 age group Kate O’ Shea had a PB of 7.63m in the shot putt, Darragh Courtney had a PB of 8.42m in the shot putt & Aaron Malik had a PB of 35.59m in the ball throw.  At U18 Peter O’ Brien was just unlucky to be outside of the medals, however he was very happy with his throw of 12.12m, a great throw for him to end the season on! 

U19: Úna Marley was 1^st in the pole vault with a jump of 2.50m.

U18:  Eoghan Courtney placed 2^nd in the 400m hurdles.  Katie O’ Riordan came 2^nd in her pole vault with a jump of 2.80m.  Michael Grimes was 3^rd in the pole vault & just placed outside of the medals in his triple jump.

St. Brendan’s would also like to take this opportunity to wish both Katie O’ Riordan & Eoghan Courtney the best of luck at the School's International Games taking place in Kent this coming weekend 21^st & 22^nd July!!
